Debunking Travel Myths with Cori: Orlando Theme Park Accommodations Edition
Hi! I’m Corinne, but you can call me “Cori”, and I am a luxury travel advisor with Sweetbay Travel Concierge. I have stayed at all levels of properties within Universal Studios and Disney World Resorts in Florida, and I am here to tell you why you should consider deluxe accommodations on your next trip. YES, you heard that right… Deluxe (Disney) or Premier (Universal) resorts are sometimes worth the added room expense and can actually provide VALUE for you and your family.
Allow me to explain:
When you stay at the higher-end properties within Universal Studios or Walt Disney World Resorts in Orlando, you receive additional perks that moderate and value resorts guests don’t have.
Staying at a Premier resort within Universal Studios gives you the opportunity to jump ahead in line, with the added benefit of FREE Express Pass for each ticketed guest within your rooms.
· Skip the regular lines at Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure with free Universal Express Unlimited ride access* — that’s a savings of up to $129** per person, per day. (select hotels only; valid theme park admission required).
· For the average family of 4, that is almost $500 in savings a day which can potentially cover the cost of your room!
A stay at a Deluxe Resort in Walt Disney World provides guests additional extended evening hour events exclusively offered to hotel guests in the deluxe and deluxe-villa categories. This gives guests an opportunity to visit the parks after other resort categories and off-site guests exit the park, which gives them the opportunity to enjoy the park at a limited capacity. This is included in the value of their room price, and does not include ticketed “after-hours” events at Disney World Orlando.
· When you combine this benefit with the early theme park entry benefit available to all Disney Resort hotel Guests and Guests of other select hotels, you’ll have maximum time to experience The World’s Most Magical Celebration!
The value doesn’t stop there…
Reserve a concierge or club level room, and you get the added benefits of daily snacks and beverages available for you and your room guests throughout the day.
· Continental breakfast
· Complimentary coffee, tea, and soft drinks throughout the day
· Snacks available throughout the day
· Hot & Cold Hors d'oeuvres in the evening
· Complimentary beer and wine in the evening
· Dessert available nightly
· Concierge services to assist in any needs during your stay
Not only does this offer a great relaxing reprieve from the parks, but can also save you some $$ over the course of your vacation stay with available drinks and treats throughout the day.
I understand that vacations are sacred time spent with family, friends, or heck even yourself! You want to ensure that you are getting the best bang-for-your-buck, and while you may initially think that value or moderately priced resorts are the way to go, you now know that those aren’t your only options when considering your accommodations at Universal Studios or Walt Disney World Orlando Resorts. If this has helped you think through your options, and you are ready to take the next step in planning your Orlando Theme Park vacay you can schedule time with me here. Let’s plan a trip you and your family will never forget.
Here's to making your travel dreams come true,
Cori
